No longer works, icons do not show. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/github-vscode-icons-updat/amefmmaoenlhckgaoppgnmhlcolehkho still works

It works great in the repo preview, but now the UI of files and directories have changed. Now when browsing through the directories in the repo, the icons are no longer shown. Hope this'll get fixed soon.
